Skin Deep Tribal Tattoo

My first experience with being tattooed was with Kevin at Skin Deep Tribal Tattoo. Prior to meeting Kevin, I had visited several shops and spoke with several artists and still was unsure if I trusted any of them to be my first artist.However, Kevin instantly made me feel comfortable and confident working with him and I immediately built a bond and trust in him. Kevin is honest, confident in his work but humble, knowledgeable and funny! It started with just the words, to the flag and then the eagle!Kevin’s work is clean and I always get compliments from others. I would recommend anyone to Kevin, especially first timers!

Best experience I have ever had at a tattoo shop. Kevin will transform your tattoo idea and create something that will turn heads. Can’t wait to come back for more! Thanks so much!

Kevin is incredible! He is the only one I will ever trust with tattoos. He has a calm energy and knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s patient and will let you talk his ear off or he will talk your ear off. Or you can just be silent. Whatever you prefer. His daughter, Michaela also tattoos and is occasionally in shop. This is your sign, go see Kevin!!!

Kevin is extremely talented and perfect for big projects. Cant wait to finish my sleeve!

Kevin is the man!! Been getting tattoos from him since 2019 an he’s always done amazing work wouldn’t go to any other artist but him. Super clean shop, amazing atmosphere an it’s always a great time

This was my first experience getting a tattoo and Kevin made that easy for me due to his personality and love that he spoke up to give me pointers, changes he thought were needed and professionalism.His business and office was an extremely clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Will be going back!

Kevin is the man! He is great at providing insight and direction and helping to tell a story in art. Super clean and professional shop! Will be going back for more ink therapy!

Kevin is an absolutely amazing artist! Ive had him do three different pieces now. Every time its the same process - the one he insists on to maximize the quality of the tattoo and make sure you get exactly what you want and what youll be happy with.Your first step is to go in and tell him what you have in mind - have a general idea, but dont be too specific. He makes it a team effort to develop a custom piece thats what youve been looking for only even better than you thought it would look. After you figure it out, he draws something up and you guys continue to work together to perfect it.This may put some people off, but Kevin is a true artist. That collaboration between your vision and his expertise (he knows what your tattoo will look like even before he puts it on your body!) produces some of the best skin art around.Hes patient, always chill, and super-upbeat all the time. I wont let anyone else tattoo my pieces.The piece I attached a photo of was a cover-up. It started off as just that ring in the middle. He cleaned it up and then added the tree and runes. The amazing part is that he did most of the tattoo freehand!!Never go anywhere else!

I went to Kevin for my first tattoo, he walked me through the creative process, very open to suggestions for your pieces and gives honest feedback. Very clean, and sanitary. Couldn’t be more happy with my work!

Kevin is incredible at what he does. He genuinely cares about the customer and wants to give them what they want. He asks the right questions and gives proper feedback. He deserves more public media output so more can find him. 💯

Kevin in the man the myth, and the legend! Super accommodating, and does great work. He has been my only artist for 7 years and Im here religiously I will NOT see another artist. Look no further!

Kevin is the man, he has been my artist for 7 years! A full sleeve and many other pieces to thank him for. Look no further for your next artist.

Id like to start out with how immensely clean his shop was. It seemed to not have a spec of dust anywhere, so it attracted me right off the bat as someone who has never got a tattoo before. From using new needles for every person to keeping their place tidy I would like to commend them because it truly was impressive. That being said, their professionalism (at least in my experience) severely lacked. I went in to get my first tattoo, new to the whole place, the owner was extremely friendly and just absolutely great. No problem there. Fast forward to when I found what I wanted to get and am currently being inked. As good of a guy the owner is, a tattoo that seems it should have only taken a couple hours took 9+. This is because during the inking process, there were a plethora of interruptions. Dont get me wrong, this is absolutely okay especially when you have a business to run, however what is NOT okay was being charged for the time that that was going on. Under the needle for approximately 4 ish hours cost me about 1000 dollars. Me thinking, okay this is a large tattoo and my first time, its just what it costs. Wrong. You dont charge someone while youre conducting other business. Just because Im sitting in your chair and youre talking to other customers, taking a break yourself, does not authorize you to keep me on the clock. After this tattoo was done I then proceeded to go for another (at a different place) and believe me, I asked about the one I had just got a at Skin Deep. Pricing, detail etcetera. Every place I went to (3) laughed in my face for the price I spent on something as minutely detailed as this one was. That is when I made the decision to never return to Skin Deep Tribal. I feel I was cheated, lied to, and given an overpriced tattoo just because it was my first time. I shortly scheduled an appointment with another place to redo, Yes, REDO this tattoo. Now it has the proper shading, detail and looks a hell of a lot better than what it originally looked like. Everything was redone and reshaded and guess how long that took? 3 hours, for 300 dollars, for much better work. Now I would not be so sour if I didnt feel so cheated. You brought this upon yourself Skin Deep. Whether you think youre in the right or not, I have MANY others that think youre in the wrong including me. Now, this is my experience, like anything, your experiences may differ. Again, great people and great place but unfortunately my experience has led me to believe their work and customer service can not be talked up the same way.

Kevin, is amazing . He takes the time with you to make sure you get what you want. His work speaks for its self. Wouldnt go any place else.

Kevin is the best at what he does I have a number of tattoos from different shops and I wouldnt go back to any of them Kevins shop is very clean and professional I have gotten five tattoos from him with the last one being a cover up done last Thursday he did such a great job that you cant even see what was covered up I wouldnt recommend any other place
